Describe airfoil, center of pressure, and mean camber line.
Description should include
- components of an airfoil
- leading edge
- trailing edge
- chord line
- mean camber line
- maximum thickness
- maximum camber
- angle of attack (AOA)
- relative wind
- cambered airfoil (an asymmetric airfoil for which the mean camber line will be above the chord line)
- center of pressure (the moment reference center for which the moment is zero; it depends on the AOA).
